You want to sleep
You really do
Eyes drooping, body snuggled up in warm blankets
But your mind is wide awake
Unable to stop thinking about what's next
How will tomorrow be? Next week? Next month? Next year?
All those black and white clichés flash before your eyes
Different scenarios play with choppy cuts from scene to scene
A chaotic and disorganized roll of film
You're not even aware of the time ticking away
You just keep thinking endlessly
With the silence and darkness softly whispering into your ear
To go to sleep
Blended in with the sound of the AC rocking you to sleep
And before you know it, ringggg ringgg ringggg
It's time to wake up again.
